= {{{SMWeinberg}}}: The Standard Model + The Dimension Five Weinberg Operator at NLO in QCD = === Contact Author === Richard Ruiz * Universite Catholique de Louvain * richard.ruiz AT uclouvain.be In collaboration with Benjamin Fuks, Jonas Neundorf, Krisztian Peters, and Matthias Saimpert For additional instructions and examples on using the {{{SMWeinberg}}} UFO libraries, see B. Fuks, et al, arXiv:2012.abcde * If using the {{{SMWeinberg}}} UFO, please cite [ [#Fuks 1] ] along with the appropriate {{{FeynRules}}} and generator papers. * For studies of lepton number violation in {{{$W^\pm W^\pm$}}} scattering, please also consider citing [ [#Fuks 2] ]. == Model Description == The UFO file models the Weinberg operator for high-energy scattering and decays by exploiting the observation [ [#Fuks 1] ] that an intermediate current of massless neutrinos {{{$(\nu_\ell \nu_{\ell'}^c)$}}} can be an unphysical Majorana neutrino with mass {{{$m_{\ell \ell'}=C^{\ell\ell'}_5 v^2/\Lambda$}}}. === Majorana === This effective/simplified model extends the Standard Model (SM) field content by introducing three right-handed (RH) neutrinos, which are singlets under the SM gauge symmetry (no color, weak isospin, or weak hypercharge charges). Each RH neutrino possesses one RH Majorana mass. After electroweak symmetry breaking, the Lagrangian with three heavy Majorana neutrinos ''N''i (for i=1,2,3) is given by [ [#Atre 5] ] {{{ #!latex \begin{equation} \mathcal{L} = \mathcal{L}_{\rm SM} + \mathcal{L}_{5} + \mathcal{O}(\Lambda^{-1}) \end{equation} }}} The first term is the Standard Model Lagrangian. In the mass basis, i.e., after mixing with active neutrinos, the heavy Majorana neutrinos' kinetic and mass terms are {{{ #!latex \begin{equation} \mathcal{L}_{N} = \frac{1}{2}\overline{N_k} i\!\not\!\partial N_k - \frac{1}{2}m_{N_k} \overline{N_k}N_k, \quad k=1,\dots,3, \end{equation} }}} and its interactions with the Weak gauge and Higgs bosons are given by {{{ #!latex \begin{eqnarray} \mathcal{L}_{N~\text{Int}} = &-&\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}} W_{\mu}^{+}\sum_{k=1}^{3}\sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N_k}V_{\ell k}^{*}\gamma^{\mu}P_{L}\ell^{-} +{\rm H.c.} \\ &-&\frac{g}{2\cos\theta_W}Z_{\mu}\sum_{k=1}^{3}\sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N_k}V_{\ell k}^{*}\gamma^{\mu}P_{L}\nu_\ell +{\rm H.c.} \\ &-&\frac{g m_N}{2 M_W} h \sum_{k=1}^{3}\sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N_k}V_{\ell k}^{*}P_{L}\nu_\ell +{\rm H.c.} \end{eqnarray} }}} Neutrino masses (mNk) and mixing parameters (Vlk) between heavy mass eigenstate and (active) flavor eigenstates are taken to be independent, phenomenological parameters. This allows for maximum flexibility and model independence when calculating rates. Therefore, some care is required by the user. The lepton number- and flavor-violating interactions of the Lagrangian allow for modeling of the Type I, Inverse, and Linear seesaw mechanisms at both lepton, hadron, and lepto-hadron colliders. == QCD Corrections == The above Lagrangian with Goldstone boson couplings and in the Feynman Gauge was implemented into FeynRules 2.3.10. QCD renormalization and R2 rational counter terms were determined using NLOCT 1.02 and FeynArts 3.8. Feynman rules were collected into a single UFO, available below. In the UFO file, five massless quarks are assumed as are zero off-diagonal CKM matrix entries. For additional details, see [ [#Degrande 2] ] and references therein. These additions permit tree-level calculations at LO and NLO in QCD and loop-induced calculations at LO in QCD using MadGraph_aMC@NLO. == Model Files == '''Note:''' The only difference between NLO and LO libraries is the presence of additional (effective) O(a_s) Feynman rules. By definition the NLO libraries can compute tree-level processes at LO precision. * [https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/raw-attachment/wiki/HeavyN/SM_HeavyN_NLO_UFO.tgz SM_HeavyN_NLO_UFO.tgz]: Standalone UFO folder.
